About

Saina Nehwal was the Indian female player to achieve the title of World No. 1 in the sport of badminton. She has brought home an Olympic bronze & won over twenty-four international titles, which include eleven Super Series titles! 

She started playing badminton at the age of eight after her family moved from Haryana to Hyderabad. Her initiation into the game was primarily because she didn’t know the local language well and she wanted to further the dream of her mother, who was a state-level badminton player herself. 

She is the first Indian badminton player to have won an Olympic medal, along with being the only Indian to have won the BWF World Junior Championships or to have reached to the final of the BWF World Championships.
